Wooden novelty beads and classic pearls
complete this necklace and earring set

Irina Miech

These wooden beads are called ojime (pronounced oh-jeem-eh). They are made from boxwood using traditional Japanese patterns. Details like hand-carved scales and tiny onyx eyes add to their charm. Make a sea-inspired lariat with a whimsical swimmer followed by a playful trail of pearl bubbles. A single strand of diagonally drilled pearls is enough to make a lariat and earrings.
